I want to come out strong and hard, right now, for Hillary Clinton for president.
I would have voted for her had she been the nominee in '08. I voted for Obama because he wasn't John McCain, who I like, and against the notion that Sarah Palin could possibly be the leader of the free world.
I think Hillary Clinton would be a perfect president. She is smart and tough as nails. She has survived an interesting (to say the least) marriage to President Bill Clinton and has produced a daughter who, by all measure, seems like a nice girl.
Hillary is a lawyer so she knows the value of a good argument supported by facts and precedent.
But most importantly she knows how Washington works. One of the great criticisms of President Obama is that he came to Washington as a naïve rube palpably unfamiliar with the real life, real time way in which the government operates.
Sure he had been a Senator but the truth is that he spent a fair amount of his tenure there running for president and had come to the Senate with very little legislative experience.
It seems, in retrospect, that he squandered a fair amount of his first term trying to get along with the Republicans who were, simultaneously, bent on his destruction (see: Mitch McConnell)
Obama thought that if he played nice, extended his hand in friendship and made moderate proposals, that the GOP would meet him halfway and we would enter his "Post Partisan" political universe.
How wrong his hypothesis proved to be. The Republicans weren't at all interested in playing ball with Obama. All they wanted to do was frustrate him at every turn just waiting for '12 when they could take back The White House.
The trouble was that they put up the wrong man for the job accompanied by the wrong running mate. The country was in no mood for the upper crust version of America that Romney exuded nor were they interested in the austere manner in which Ryan proposed fixing the finances of this country.
So Obama won a second term. Now we see politics as they are really played. We hear tough talk and a "my way or the highway" policy tone coming from the Executive branch.
Gone is the smiling, jovial, innocent Obama. Now we have the Terminator. And what has happened?
Right out of the gate we have the twinklings of bi-partisan agreement on immigration reform. We have a vigorous debate about guns and, with Obama's Stonewall reference, the possibility of true civil rights in the US rather than merely civil unions.
Hillary Clinton knows how to talk tough and, more to the point, be tough. She took no crap from the senators arrayed against her at the Benghazi hearings and she will take no crap from the Congress when she's caused to deal with them on the issues of the day.
She's been there and she knows how to play the game.
Put aside, for a minute, all of the noise about her past. About Vince Foster, about Health Care, about the Terminator Seed.
What we need in The White House is someone who knows what's up and is not afraid to fight.
And the fact that she'd be the first woman in the job is a wonderful bonus. We need a woman in the job.
God knows the men have screwed it up for long enough now. If we can have women on the front lines of war we can damned well have them in the presidency.
So...Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in 2016.
Count me in.
But please, Madam Former Secretary/Former Senator/Former First Lady.
Lose the glasses.
Please...lose the ugly friggin' glasses. You're much better looking without them...

Interesting viewpoint. Issues carried well to a humorous ending. Glasses definitely gotta go. But Hillary? I would have to bite off a piece of Dan Patch chewing tobacco and roll that around in my mouth for awhile to see how that tastes. I think the outcome of that would be similar to 4 years of Hillary 'light headed and feeling sick.
ReplyDelete"While President Bush's approval rating falls to record lows, the torch is being prepared to pass on to Hillary Clinton, with full endorsement from the global elite. With support from European nobility, Clinton has been selected as the candidate of choice for the continuation of globalist policies. Bill Clinton, being a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, Trilateral Commission, as well as the secretive Bilderberg group, was the creme de la creme establishment candidate. His wife, Hillary, who likely attended the 2006 Bilderberg conference in Ottawa Canada, now promises to follow in his path."
"In an October 5th interview conducted by Lloyd Grove of Portfolio magazine, Lynn Forester de Rothschild, wife of Sir Evelyn Rothschild, openly proclaimed support for Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign ... 'First of all, Hillary will be good for America. And so if we care about our country —which all of my fellow capitalists do —we'll be very pleased that she's president'."
Now that we know the Rothschild Family of Europe fully endorses Hillary for President, let us view some of the Elitist positions she will support once she gets into the White House.
Bill Clinton is thought to have only been to the bohemian grove once, in 1991, and known to become president in 1992. He denies ever being there, but we all know he lied under oath about Monica Lewinsky. Clinton is a member of the Trilateral Commission and Council of Foreign Relations which are part of the Round Table. The Round Table which includes the Bilderberg group, Trialateral Commission ,and the Council of Foreign relations, was founded by Cecil Rhodes who also founded the Rhodes scholarship. Clinton coincidentally was a Rhodes Scholar and his wife Hillary Clinton attends the secretly held and well guarded Bilderberg meetings.
And you want a Bohemian Grove 'acolyte' as President? The American people have elected that individual most likely to do them in...so...what do we have to lose but our heads!
I agree with some of that but, for the most part, I'm disinclined to see a bogeyman around every corner...and I'm "friends" with Lynn on FB...so there!
DeleteLet them eat cake!!
